  1. The official book trailer for "The Valdai Romance" (Part 1. Canon) is finally live on Vimeo! 🎬✨

    As an indie author, I am incredibly proud to share this atmospheric visual and musical glimpse into the world of Januar and Virgil.
    "The Valdai Romance" is a story of fierce tenderness and tactile passion set in an alternative 19th-century Valdai. This novel shatters the persistent myth of asexuality as something cold, proving instead that without a sexual act, sensory intimacy and love can burn even brighter.
    Under the canopy of the ancient trees, two souls find their ultimate sanctuary, building a devotion that rewrites their destinies and seals their lifelong bond.
    Watch the trailer, listen to the custom-crafted romance soundtrack, and dive into the bilingual text (English/Russian) on Medium.

  9. @queerromanceclub #QueerRomanceClub

    I apologise, I’ve let the ball drop for the Queer Romance Club November read (got ever so slightly frantically busy the last few weeks…).

    The theme is classics/old favourites, and I thought maybe instead of running a vote and picking a single book, queer romance fans can drop their recommendations in the comments:

    - maybe the first romance you ever read that wasn’t just straight m/f (even if it was m/f with a bisexual character etc)
    - nostalgic reads which might not hold up today but which you still have a soft spot for
    - a classic of the genre which you think is the gold standard (I don’t know, like LoTR is for fantasy)
    - even just books that are a few years old now that you think did not get the attention they deserved when they were released.

    No need to be a regular participant in the QRC, this is just about blowing up those TBR lists :)

    (But more about it here, FYI:

  13. I’m only a few sales off setting a new record for the month, and it’s a milestone I’d like to reach, so….

    #selfPromo

    I write fantasy books which are neither epic nor cosy (but closer to the cosy end of the spectrum, I call them cosy-adjacent).

    They have happy-ever-after romance in them, though not the epic romantasy kind, and usually queer.

    They’re usually stand-alone, even when part of a duology (no ten-book series here, if you don’t like commitment)

    They are mildly funny, and sometimes morally complex, but mostly just fun escapism where the bad guys always lose.

    You can check them out on my website, and find the buy links - widely available, including via Hoopla and Kobo Plus, and direct from me (via Payhip):

    wendypalmer.au/books/

    (And CWs: wendypalmer.au/content-warning)

    Boosts appreciated.

  14. Queer Romance Club June selection — Navigational Entanglements by Aliette de Bodard

    Since we had a tie (what a surprise 😊), I’ve deployed my tie-breaker for go for the f/f SF as the official pick (feel free to let us know what you think of any of the others, though!)

    ***
    Teaser blurb:

    Jockeying navigator clans guide spaceships through the Hollows: an area of space populated by the mysterious but deadly creatures known as Tanglers. When a Tangler escapes the Hollows for the first time in living memory, each clan must send a representative to help capture it—but the mission may be doomed and the hearts of two clan juniors may be in danger too.

  15. Queer Romance Club June voting - Pride theme

    We got some great suggestions, but I can only list four options in the poll so had to narrow it down to try to offer a broad range of (self-reported) identities and relationship types (I managed to get an L, a G, a B, and a T in there 😂), plus what’s hopefully readily available through libraries. Check out the @/# for more suggestions though.

    Choices:

    TJ Alexander — A Gentleman’s Gentleman (AKA The Earl Meets His Match) — transm/m historical
    kobo.com/au/en/ebook/the-earl-

    Aliette de Bodard — Navigational Entanglements — f/f SF
    kobo.com/au/en/ebook/navigatio

    Matt Cain — The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle — m/m contemporary/general
    kobo.com/au/en/ebook/the-secre

    Alexis Hall — Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake — m/bi-f contemporary (where the bisexuality is relevant to the plot, not just a character trait)
    kobo.com/au/en/ebook/rosaline-
    Apparently this one has been optioned to be a movie.

  16. MAY selection for the Queer Romance Club — The Keeper of Lonely Spirits by EM Anderson

    I can’t say this SOUNDS much like a cosy fantasy romance — I’m looking forward to it anyway but I think I should stop being quite so trusting of certain book lists 😂

    ***

    Blurb:

    This mesmerizing, wonderfully moving queer cozy fantasy, an immortal ghost hunter must confront his tragic past in order to embrace his found family.

    Find an angry spirit. Send it on its way before it causes trouble. Leave before anyone learns his name.

    After over two hundred years, Peter Shaughnessy is ready to die and end this cycle. But thanks to a youthful encounter with one o’ them folk in his native Ireland, he can’t. Instead, he’s cursed to wander eternally far from home, with the ability to see ghosts and talk to plants.

    Immortality means Peter has lost everyone he’s ever loved. And so he centers his life on the dead — until his wandering brings him to Harrington, Ohio. As he searches for a vengeful spirit, Peter’s drawn into the townsfolk’s lives, homes and troubles. For the first time in over a century, he wants something other than death.

    But the people of Harrington will die someday. And he won’t.

    As Harrington buckles under the weight of the supernatural, the ghost hunt pits Peter’s well-being against that of his new friends and the man he’s falling for. If he stays, he risks heartbreak. If he leaves, he risks their lives.

  17. Looking for recommendations for the Queer Romance Club May read. May’s theme is Fantasy.

    Please note recommendations do have to be both queer, in any iteration, and a Romance aka the relationship is a central component of the plotline, with a happy ever after (or happy for now) ending.

    I have these possibilities lined up already:

    The Jasmine Throne (epic f/f)
    The Keeper of Lonely Spirits (cosy m/m)
    Acts of Cupidity (urban fantasy m/m)

    Looking to round it out with different queerness flavours and/or different sub-genres. Note we have Cosy and Paranormal themes coming up later in the year, too, so fantasies in those veins can be used then.

    Indie author suggestions very welcome, but the books have to be widely available (no Amazon-only), including from libraries.

  18. CW: Queer Romance Club April — Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell - mild spoilers to end of Part 1

    Queer Romance Club — Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell

    Very mild spoilers to end of part 1, but I know some readers don’t want even very mild spoilers, so into the secret-sauce box it goes…

    I’m thoroughly enjoying this so far. I did have a moment where I thought, mind control powers are acceptable but mind-reading is despised, that seems unlikely, but then I realised in a military-dominated society, that’s pretty much exactly how it would go. I’ll be interested to see Tennal (or someone) do a deep-read.

    I like both characters. I like Tennal and his self-described “rich-kid bullshit” — he’s annoying as shit, and IRL I would avoid him like the plague, but in fiction, very distinct from contemporary settings, I can enjoy his stubborn malicious-compliance tactics. I’m assuming there’s more than what feels like ADHD-driven historical adolescent conflict with his aunt behind his behaviour and bad habits, possibly to do with the unaccounted-for gen-parent.

    I fully appreciate that he’s following the rules as a little shit and Surit is following the rules as a good little soldier, to the same effect, and then the commander waltzes in and swats them both like bugs with a fine-boys-we’ll-follow-the-rules-then strategy.

  19. APRIL selection for the Queer* Romance Club — Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell

    As is fairly standard for QRC, the voting ended in a tie, so I’ve deployed my coordinator tie-breaker to go for Ocean’s Echo (the one I would have voted for, if I took part in the poll).

    This should be widely available at libraries. Though it’s in the same world as Maxwell’s first book, Winter’s Orbit, it is a stand-alone. I’m looking forward to this one :)

    ***
    Blurb:

    “Change begins with the meeting of the minds”

    When Tennal - a rich socialite, inveterate flirt, and walking disaster - is caught using his telepathic powers for illegal activities, the military decides to bind his mind to someone whose coercive powers are strong enough to control him.

    Enter Lieutenant Surit, the child of a disgraced general. Out of a desperate need to restore a pension to his other parent, Lieutenant Surit agrees to be bound to Tennal and keep him conscripted in the army, a task that seems impossible even for someone with Surit's ability to control minds.

    Tennal just wants to escape, but Surit isn't all that he seems. And their bond may just be the key to their freedom.

  22. #QueerRomanceClub @queerromanceclub

    I’m looking for suggestions for the March vote of the QRC. The theme is historicals. I have a few on my list, but some are probably more historical than, ah, romantical 😊 and obviously a central queer (in any shape or form) relationship is required.

    Indies/lesser known authors encouraged but the books need to be widely available (no Amazon-only books, library accessible).

  23. Queer Romance Club February vote 👇

    As is traditional for QRC (ie as was done last year 😂), we’ll focus on BIPOC authors/stories for February

    Leather, Lace and Locs by Anne Shade — contemporary f/f/f friends to lovers
    kobo.com/au/en/ebook/leather-l

    One and Done by Frederick Smith — contemporary m/m one night stand becomes more
    kobo.com/au/en/ebook/one-and-d

    A Taste of Honey by Kai Ashante Wilson — fantasy m/m, it’s a unusual one but it’s still romance 😊 might say Book 2 at your source but stands alone
    kobo.com/au/en/ebook/a-taste-o

    Runnin’ No More by GT Dipe — brand new release (not out til mid-month!) m/m contemporary, probably quite heavy given the blurb but also vey highly rated
